You nag:
"lover, honey
my heart I gave thee
how dare you break it?
...
This concrete jungle
striking, confusing
with a dearth of appeal
like a doodle,
...
Love nestles tenderly, delicately
in your arms, warmly
tickling emotions with light feathers
surely
...
The night is getting wearier
shadows getting dreadier
sun rays hugging horizon, hungrier
darkens envelopes
...
I hear you call me,
gently
amid the rustling leaves
silently
...
Please smile
For it costs nothing but creates much
Your smile is rest when I'm weary
The daylight when discouraged
...
I slipped
I felled
and never regained my balance
I grouped frantically for something to save me
...
hey love
just a warm smile, an assurance you are mine
embrace me for loneliness to ease
a hot calabash of uji*' for my soul to soothe
...
Heaven Through Hell
Pardon my retched soul,
in book of in life
...
Do you know the hardest part?
When you’ve been through hell
and back?
It isn’t the yowls of wretched souls,
...
